Charles Krauthammer Reveals the Candidate He Thinks Is Most Likely to Win the Republican Nomination
The Blaze ^ | January 22, 2016 | Oliver Darcy

Posted on 01/22/2016 9:15:20 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer said Friday on the Fox News Channel that he believes it is now a three person race for the Republican 2016 nomination, with Donald Trump most likely to win.

Speaking on "Special Report," the syndicated columnist used $100 in "casino chips" to illustrate his point.

Krauthammer placed a $40 bet on the chances that Trump would secure the nomination, followed by a $30 bet on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came in third with $20 and Krauthammer reserved $10 for "wine, women and song."(continued)

Like I said in a curiously deleted thread, “It’s over. It’s over now.”

Having worked through the five stages of grief Krauthammer has finally arrived at acceptance.

Was he still putting money on Bush? He refused to give up on Bush for the longest time.

Side note: He seems to be having more trouble breathing as he talks. Did anyone notice that?

I still don’t get the appeal of Rubio, but I’ve seen people on the forum who say they would vote for him.

I’ll vote for Rubio over Mrs. Clinton.

I’d vote for my Rhodesian Ridgeback over Mrs. Clinton.

He’d actually be a pretty good president if you feed him regularly. He prefers half wet, half dry.

He would wag the tail on the dog.

He’d be on the alert against invaders.

And he’d growl at slick congressmen.

Charles must have seen the most recent ad from Bush’s sorry camp ... featuring Mother Barbara. No bets were placed on son, John Ellis, AKA Jeb.

Yes, impossible to miss the labored breathing when Charles speaks ...

Not at all! It's still very much in flux. In fact, I can't think of a time when it has less been up for grabs. I certainly can't say how it's going to turn out. I'm guessing that no one knows. How could anyone know? There are so many factors, so many influences, so much left still unquantified, unmeasured, quite beyond the imagination of any of us. No, my FRiend, it is not over.

Do let us know what "it" is, won't you, when you get a chance?
